After filing http://bugs.python.org/issue8840 I was rather shocked to be told that the code-breaking and policy-violating change was intentional because being 'more consistent with other file-handling APIs out there' was somehow more important than consistency within version releases. It also seems to me that discussion of code-breaking API changes like this should involve more than one user and one developer. See http://bugs.python.org/issue6939
For the record, I have added links to Guido's python-dev post to both of these tracker issues.
